Axial Muscles Flashcards
What artery runs either superficial or deep to the lateral pterygoid?
Maxillary artery
What muscle of mastication is surrounded by pterygoid venous plexus?
Lateral pterygoid
The buccal branch of what cranial nerve passes between the superior and inferior heads of the lateral pterygoid?
CN V
Innervated by CN V3
Which muscle of mastication contacts:
Parotid gland, inferior alveolar artery, lingual nerve, inferior alveolar nerve, and chorda tympani nerve?
Medial pterygoid
The parotid duct, transverse facial artery, and branches of CNVII pass superficial to what muscle of mastication?
Masseter
The branches of what cranial nerve pass superficial to the masseter?
CN VII
Which muscle of mastication does not elevate the mandible?
lateral pterygoid
Which muscle of mastication does not protrude the mandible?
Temporalis
Which muscle of mastication is the main postural muscle (maintains the mandible in rest position)?
Temporalis
Which cranial nerve innervates all 4 muscles of mastication?
CN V3
What 4 muscles, other than the muscles of mastication, are innervated by CN V3?
Mylohyoid
Anterior digastric
Tensor tympani
Tensor veli palitini
O, I, A, N for sternocleidomastoid
Muscle of anterior neck
O: Manubrium and clavicle
I: Mastoid region of the skull
A: Bilateral - flexes neck. Unilateral - rotation; face turns to contralateral side. Head tilts ipsilaterally
N: CN XI and C2-C3
Scalenes: Attachment, Action, Innervation
Oblique cervical muscles
Anterior, Middle, Posterior
Attach to TP of C2-C7 and the first 2 ribs.
Elevate the ribs or flex the neck.
Innervated by C4-C6.
What artery and plexus pass between the anterior and middle scalene?
Subclavian artery
Brachial plexus
What vein and nerve pass anteriorly to the anterior scalene?
Subclavian vein
Phrenic nerve
List the muscles of the anterior neck: Suprahyoid and Infrahyoid
Sternocleidomastoid
Suprahyoid muscles
- Mylohyoid
- Geniohyoid
- Stylohyoid
- Digastric
Infrahyoid muscles
- Thyrohyoid
- Omohyoid
- Sternohyoid
- Sternothyroid
OIAN - Digastric
Suprahyoid muscle
O: Anterior belly - mandible (deep side of inferior border, digastric fossa); Posterior belly - mastoid notch
I: Hyoid bone
A: Elevates hyoid; depresses and retracts the mandible during swallowing
N: Anterior - CN V3 (mylohyoid branch); Posterior - CN VII (digastric branch)
OIAN - Stylohyoid
Suprahyoid muscle
O: Styloid process
I: Hyoid bone
A: Elevates hyoid during swallowing
N: CN VII
OIAN - Mylohyoid
Suprahyoid muscle
O: Mylohyoid line of mandible
I: Hyoid bone
A: Tightens and elevates oral floor; draws hyoid forward during swallowing; depresses and retracts mandible; assists in moving mandible side to side (chewing)
N: CN V3 (mylohyoid branch)
OIAN - Geniohyoid
Suprahyoid bone
O: Inferior mental spine (genial tubercle)
I: Hyoid bone
A: Draws hyoid bone forward during swallowing; depresses and retracts mandible
N: C1, via CN XII
Which masticatory muscles close/elevate the mandible?
Masseter
Medial pteryfoid
Temporalis
Which masticatory muscles open/depress the mandible?
Gravity Lateral pterygoid (primary) Mylohyoid Digastric Geniohyoid (secondary)
